Private Guided Safaris
Reconnecting you with
the natural world
On safari, the quality of your guide is the most important factor. On a private guided safari, you’ll get closer to nature than you ever dreamed possible. Our private guides will help you read the signs of the wild. You’ll learn to read signs in the blood-red earth, you’ll feel the ground shake to the rumble of elephants, you’ll breathe the same air as the mighty cats, and know the wild like never before.
Graham Cooke leads our private guided safaris. Graham is undoubtedly a legend of the safari world. He is a highly distinguished and internationally renowned private guide whose story of hand-rearing two leopard cubs and releasing them into the wild is told in the now-popular book – “My Life with Leopards”.
Graham will immerse you into the natural world and will provide an unparalleled level of insight and understanding of the animals we have the pleasure of sharing this earth with. You’ll hear wonderful stories from his time in the bush while having once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
A highly sought after private safari guide, we’re incredibly lucky to have Graham on our team, he is one of the best in the business. On safari with us you’ll have exclusive access to Graham and his knowledge from over 30 years in the bush, observing first-hand his passion for anything wild and natural.
Graham thrives on sharing his in-depth knowledge about the African bush, reconnecting people with the natural world, giving guests more than just a safari experience but an informed look into the lives and understanding of the myriad of birds, animals, plants and insects Africa has to offer.
